Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the people in Liujia Village did not go to visit relatives, but went to the ancestral hall early in the morning, including the descendants of several families.

Liu Xu and his friends arrived the latest. This time, only the Xu Mingzhe brothers came from the Xu family.

In the ancestral hall, Liu Hehua and her son and Wang Wu and her son were kneeling in the middle. Liu Dahai, as the patriarch, sat at the top. On both sides were the three elders of the Liu family. One was the oldest grandfather, and the other two were two sixty-year-old men of the same generation as the patriarch, whom Liu Xu knew but was not familiar with.

During these few days, someone from the tribe looked after the four of them every day, feeding them a bowl of water and half a steamed bun a day to ensure that they did not starve to death or die of thirst.

In this way, on the third night of junior high school, Liu Hehua and her son almost ran away.

Fortunately, Wu Zhaodi, also known as Wang Wu, was discovered because of the noise she made on purpose.

So much so that later all the steamed buns from the mother and daughter were given to Wu Zhaodi and her son.

After being hungry for two days, Liu Hehua had no strength left and could only glare viciously at her former friend. If her eyes had knives, Wu Zhaodi would have been cut into pieces.

Wu Zhaodi glared back fiercely.

After Liu Dahai sent his daughter away on the third day of the Chinese New Year, he immediately arranged for someone to find the midwife and the old doctor from Renhetang in the town.

The midwife was in her fifties, but she had a good memory. She still remembered the incident and described it in more detail than the previous woman.

The midwife said that Liu Hehua's belly was very much like that of a full-term baby, not to mention the baby. Many full-term babies are not that strong. But Liu Hehua claimed that it was because her husband loved her and she ate better.

However, the old doctor was very old and it had been almost ten years, so he didn't remember Liu Wulang. But he said that it was impossible for him to prescribe the wrong medicine for Ququ Fenghan.

Liu Dahai asked Liu Hehua again whose child Laibao was, and Liu Hehua insisted that it was Liu Wulang's.

But Liu Wulang was already dead, so they couldn't do anything even if they wanted to use blood test to identify him. They couldn't conclude that he wasn't a member of the Liu family just because the midwife guessed and the child looked like his mother, right?

The situation was a bit deadlocked for a moment.

Seeing this, Wu Zhaodi hurriedly took her son to admit her fault and protest, "Village chief, uncles, Lord Xu, I know I was wrong, and I will never gossip with others again. Those words were not said by me, but by Liu Hehua. I... I just learned to speak, but I didn't expect that little bastard would hear it."

"Please let us go, we won't dare to do it again." After saying this, Wu Zhaodi kowtowed everywhere, taking with her Wang Gouwa, who looked a little abnormal.

Because Xu Mingzhe and Xu Mingli were invited to sit down, Liu Xu and her daughter stood at the innermost part thanks to them.

Liu Xu could just see Wang Gou Wa's face and immediately frowned, "Mom, look, does Wang Gou Wa have a fever?

Not only Xu Ruolan heard this, but also Xu Mingli who was sitting next to them.

He looked carefully and saw that the boy who had hit Ze Lin had a confused look in his eyes and a red face, looking like he was about to fall down at any time.

Seeing that Wu Zhaodi was still crying and didn't notice that her son was already on the verge of collapse, Xu Mingli quickly said:

"Village Chief Liu, please wait a moment, the child seems to be sick."

He was angry at the two men for beating his son and nephew, but after so many days, his anger had almost subsided.

After hearing this, Liu Dahai turned his attention to Wang Gou Wa, and the result was shocking.

Wang Gou Wa actually fell down straight.

Everyone was in a panic, and Wu Zhaodi was so frightened that she burst into tears, crying, "Gou Wa, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother."

The Xu Mingzhe brothers rushed forward to check. Xu Mingli reached out and touched Wang Gou Wa's forehead, which was terribly hot. "This child has a high fever. We need to find Elder Meng immediately."

Liu Dahai acted promptly and asked someone to invite Doctor Meng.

Doctor Meng came quickly and after a diagnosis, he said that the patient fell ill due to a cold, hunger and shock.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Liu Dahai frowned, thought for a moment and said, "First, take this child aside and let Lao Meng treat him."

Wu Zhaodi couldn't stop crying when she heard this. She thanked him profusely and blamed herself at the same time. Wang Laoer and his family stayed by Wang Gou Wa's side.

When Liu Hehua saw this, a look of gloating flashed in her eyes.

Liu Hehua thought to herself: Humph, this is retribution. I was about to succeed, but you ruined it. You deserve it that God looks down on you.

She didn't even think about it: without her as the culprit, would Wang Er and his mother be locked up here?

Fortunately, Wu Zhaodi was busy crying at the moment, otherwise she would have been torn to pieces.

Wang Gou Wa was carried to an open area nearby, and the old man quickly gave him acupuncture to reduce his fever. If it was too late, he might have died but his brain would have been damaged by the burn.

Wang Gou Wa had Doctor Meng on his side, so everyone soon focused their attention on Liu Hehua and her son.

"Liu Hehua, let me ask you again, is Laibao Wulang's flesh and blood? Was Wulang killed by you?" Liu Dahai said coldly.

"Oh, don't you just want to punish me so that you can curry favor with the Xu family? You can always find a pretext to accuse me!"

"you……"

"I've already said that Laibao is Wulang's child. Many people know that I fell that day. You insisted on listening to that old witch's nonsense. Isn't it that she wants to kill us so that she can curry favor with the officials of the Xu family?"

Liu Dahai was so angry that his vision went dark.

At this time, Liu Xu stood up and said, "Grandpa, to confirm whether Liu Laibao is Uncle Wulang's child, there is more than just the blood test."

"Xu girl, what do you know?"

Not only Liu Dahai was excited, but the elders of the Liu family and everyone present also looked at Liu Xu in surprise.

"Xu'er once read in a miscellany that in addition to the blood-matching method, there is also a method of recognizing relatives when one of them has passed away." Liu Xu paused and saw that everyone was looking at her expectantly, and then continued,

"This method of identifying relatives is called the bone dripping method. As the name suggests, the blood of the person to be identified is dripped into the spine of the deceased. If the blood seeps into the spine, it means that the person dripping blood is a blood relative of the deceased, otherwise it is not."

Liu Xu's words stunned everyone, and Liu Dahai looked at her, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

The villagers started talking.
